Community Grants Information
Community Grants Information
Groups can be awarded up to £5000 from
the Community Grants Fund, which can be used for local community
activity that supports the work of the SouthEast Locality
Improvement Plan.
A copy of the Council's standard
conditions of grant funding can be downloaded
here.
Who can apply? Any community or voluntary sector
organisation which has a constitution or Articles of
Assocation and its own bank account. Please see the guidance notes
for more information. Unfortunately schools cannot apply but their
Parent Council can. Click here for an application form
(Word) and the
Guidance Notes on eligibility and how to
apply.
Please note, a decision was made at the new South East Locality
Committee to establish ward level working groups to make decisions
regarding community grants going forward. We are currently in the
process of setting up these working groups, and so there will be no
decisions made regarding Community Grants until these have been
established. The intention is that each group will meet by the
middle of August, and so we will then be able to inform applicants
of decisions following each meeting.

Alternative Sources of Funding
The City of Edinburgh Council Library Service runs a
national database of potential funding sources - Edinburgh
4 Community. If your group is looking for funding then
we recommend you visit this site.
Each month colleagues in the Community Planning Team produce and
circulate a list which provides information on sources of external
funding and local activities as and when we become aware of it.
Each month tends to look at a specific theme eg young people,
education or sport etc. Please note this list is by no means
exhaustive and the information contained therein is believed to be
correct at the time of circulation. Click here to
access back copies of the lists.
